Training is a major expenditure for insurers to handle insurance fraud investigation in house. Insurance fraud investigation outsourcing reduces expenses for an insurance company and eases an insurer's possibility for bad-faith lawsuits. If an in-house investigator goes out of line to investigate a claim, the insurer is responsible for the legal penalties. However, if a service provider steps out of line to investigate a claim, the insurer points to its contract and make the case that the vendor broke the contractual duty, potentially defending itself from a bad-faith claim.

Advanced analytics play an important role in incorporating internal data with third-party data to increase fraud detection abilities. These solutions analyze and monitor data from various data sources, offer a control mechanism to avoid fraudulent practices in real-time, and detect suspicious & unusual and anomalies behavior across all channels. The adoption of analytics has reinforced fraud detection.
